No, no, no, I gotta go back on. 16 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 3: That's that's a lot of days at days on the road, right, Dude, 17 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 3: Like I'm a grind it, but now I ain't trying 18 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 3: to grind like that. 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 2: That's a lot. 20 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: He's got to get those flight miles in. I mean, 21 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: come on, he's got. 22 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: To maintain a stam man trying trying to try and 23 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: trying to maintain status. 24 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,080 Speaker 4: So you're just blowing off the early days of the combine. 25 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: Man, I mean the early days. I mean the combine 26 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 2: is different than it used to be. But I get there, 27 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 2: I get plenty. I kept plenty of days in. 28 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: We're gonna have a full plate to Bucky next week. 29 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a little while. We're 30 00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: gonna have a lot of Bucky Brooks on our programming. 31 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: Moving ahead, huddle up a Bucky Brooks brought to you 32 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 1: by the Field's Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up to Luxury 33 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: Fieldsauto dot Com. Well, there's not a lot happening right now. 34 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,839 Speaker 1: There's a lot that could happen in the next couple 35 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: of weeks or so, but nothing has happened yet. It 36 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: is tag time though. The window opened on Tuesday and 37 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: it runs through March fifth, to apply the franchise or 38 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: transition tag to players. Josh Allen the most likely candidate. 39 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley's name has been thrown around that as well, 40 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 1: but nothing as of right now has happened. So no 41 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 1: news is no news, Bucky. It's what it is. But 42 00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: it feels like something's gonna happen, either a tag or 43 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: a D or one of those two. 44 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, one of those things, like the vehicle is open 45 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 3: for the team to use the tag. If they want 46 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: to utilize the tag, you would like to think that 47 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 3: they're gonna try and negotiate see if they can get something. 48 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 2: Done, because if you get that done, then. 49 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 3: It gives you the opportunity to use the tag in 50 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 3: other ways if you want to use the on Cavin 51 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 3: Ridley or whatever. So hopefully they're beginning to have conversations 52 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 3: and talks and maybe that those talks will accelerate quickly 53 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 3: when you get a deal done. If not, then it 54 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 3: comes down to with Josh Allen. Okay, you want to 55 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: retain them on the tag, and then you have to 56 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: negotiate elsewhere. Hopefully we can find a happy medium where 57 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 3: the player and the team are both satisfied what to do. 58 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would expect this gives us sort of a 59 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 4: time frame. We'll here something on Josh Allen, but I 60 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 4: would think by March fifth, because you're either gonna tag 61 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: them or they're gonna sign them. So I don't much 62 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 4: like always is the case, or much like it's often 63 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 4: the case with these sorts of negotiations. It's not surprising 64 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 4: that the there is no news, But I don't know 65 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 4: if no news is good news or bad news. I 66 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 4: think it's just we can speculate. We assume that they're talking, 67 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 4: we assume that there's a chance to get something worked out. 68 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 4: But I don't have a real feel for this one. 69 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 4: So that's not great radio or podcasting or whatever. But 70 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 4: I don't really have a gut either way, except except 71 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: I'm sure Josh Allen be on the team. 72 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and they've said that. That's all you 73 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 1: can go off of what they've said. I mean, Trent 74 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,119 Speaker 1: Balkey said that in the press conference he's not going anywhere, 75 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen said that in the locker room after 76 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: the season that he wants to be here. So at 77 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: some point they'll figure out a way to make that happen, right, 78 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: I guess, I mean they should, And it feels like 79 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: that's the case. By the way, the number, the full 80 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: numbers on franchise tag numbers come out after restricted free 81 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: agency is over, but defensive ends Bucky and the ballpark 82 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,839 Speaker 1: of around twenty million dollars linebackers just under twenty three 83 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: million dollars at the moment, so this is kind of 84 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: where that would land. 85 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: I suppose, yeah, land right over twenty million dollar mark 86 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 3: for Josh Allen that used to be old quarterback money. 87 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: It will put him in the high cotton when you 88 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 3: think about like some of the top pass rushers and stuff, 89 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 3: that thing is escalating is getting up there. When it 90 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,160 Speaker 3: comes to the number, I think Aaron Donald right now 91 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 3: is the highest paid at the position well as a 92 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 3: pass rusher at thirty million. But yeah, when you talk 93 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 3: about twenty million dollars and trying to negotiate it and 94 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 3: what it could go, I mean, it's gonna be a 95 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 3: hefty payday for Josh Allen. He deserves it do coming 96 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: off the season that he had last year. He had 97 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 3: to kind of play it on a standpoint. He proved it, 98 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 3: so then you gotta figure out a way to pay him. 99 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I don't honestly have a gut over how 100 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 4: that'll play out. I'm hoping that he plays for a 101 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 4: long term deal, but there's been nothing to really indicate 102 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 4: that way or the other. So I think I think 103 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 4: everybody who's who's speculating is speculating based on not much. 104 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 4: So it's gonna mean it's gonna be an interesting couple 105 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 4: of weeks on that front. 106 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: Let's take a look a little bit of the history 107 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: of the Jaguars using the franchise tag, and this has 108 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: been reported and discussed over the years on different websites 109 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: and things. The latest John Shipley of Sports Illustrated this 110 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,159 Speaker 1: week had the latest breakdown of what the Jags have 111 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: done historically with the franchise tag, and they've used it 112 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: in ten different instances, and in six of those instances 113 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 1: it was a long term deal before the following season happened. 114 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,200 Speaker 1: Three of those players at three of those instances played 115 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,520 Speaker 1: under the tag number that year and then one was 116 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: tagged and traded. So Brackens in two thousand signed a 117 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: long term deal. The defensive end, of course, Donovan Darius 118 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: was franchise tag three years in a row three oh four, 119 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: oh five played under the TAGO three and oh four 120 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 1: or sign a long term deal before the five season, 121 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: then was injured so many times and out. And then 122 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: twenty eleven Mercedes Lewis tied end signed a long term 123 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 1: deal before that season. Josh Scobie, your guy John I 124 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,119 Speaker 1: signed a long term deal before the season the kicker, 125 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: and then in twenty twenty Youniken Gotway was traded to 126 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: the Vikings before the season. A tag and trade that 127 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 1: was never gonna go down in twenty twenty, so he 128 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 1: was out of here. Cam Robinson played on the tag 129 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one and then sign a long term 130 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: deal before the twenty two season, so he was tagged 131 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: twice and then last year Evan Ingram signed that long 132 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: term deal. So in most instances, Bucky, they figure it out. 133 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean that's especially from Josh Allen's perspective. You know, 134 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 1: it's still kind of a one year proven deal. You'd 135 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 1: rather have that security long term, I would guess at. 136 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 2: Least yeah, you would. You would like to have the 137 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: long term security. 138 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 3: And I was saying that he can't go out and 139 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: put up numbers like he did this year, but it fluctuates. 140 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 2: It's hard to put up tumble. 141 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 3: Jgit sacked numbers back to back years, and if he 142 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 3: had to play on the tag again, that's what he 143 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 3: would be kind of tasked with doing to see if 144 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 3: he continue to get the. 145 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: Kind of money that he wants. 146 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: Hopefully the team rewards him just because of not only 147 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: because of the player that he is, but the person 148 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 3: that he is in the locker room, the leadership ability, 149 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: the way that he's represented the franchise. 150 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,840 Speaker 2: In a perfect world, when you're a team you. 151 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 3: Like to draft your guys high, you like them to 152 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 3: play at the level of Josh Allen's play. 153 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: Then you want to retain them. 154 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 3: And so if you talk about being a draft and 155 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 3: developed team, well, when you develop them where they play 156 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 3: at a high level, you certainly want to make sure 157 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 3: you keep those guys because they should form the nucleus 158 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: of your squad. 159 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I've said over and over again, I think Josh 160 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 4: is a It's never easy to pay a guy what 161 00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 4: he's going to be paid, but to me, it's a 162 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: relatively safe signing because even when he's not high sacked guy, 163 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: he's a good player and I think his floor is 164 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 4: very high. When he had seven and a half sacks, 165 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 4: everybody's disappointed and he was still I thought, the best 166 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: defensive player on the team in twenty twenty two. That 167 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 4: would have been so to me. Gms that I've known 168 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 4: over the years, when they sign a guy to that 169 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 4: long term deal, they want to put their head on 170 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 4: the pillow that night and know he's not going to 171 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 4: just completely crap out on him. And to me, Bucky, 172 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 4: from a team's point of view, Josh is relatively safe 173 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,680 Speaker 4: on that front. You can't always control your sack numbers 174 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 4: as an outside linebacker, but you can control pressure effort, 175 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 4: good guy against the run, being stout, all those things. 176 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 4: He's a solid over overall player. To me, that makes 177 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 4: him pretty safe on this front. 178 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, really safe. 179 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 3: Look, I don't think there's any risk involved in signing 180 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 3: Josh Allen and keeping him there. 181 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: I mean, he's a great guy, he's a great leader. 182 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 3: We saw what he was able to do with his 183 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 3: backup against the wall, and I think what people have 184 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 3: done last year he had to play without a capable 185 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: backup behind him, meaning Josh Allen log more snaps, was 186 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,480 Speaker 3: in on more pass rush attempts than really most number 187 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: one guys are because normally you have a swing player, 188 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 3: another player that can kind of take some of that 189 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 3: off of them. But he and trayvond Walker had to 190 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: stay out there all the time, and what they did 191 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 3: is they got better. And so now that you know 192 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 3: that he can be an every down player, he has 193 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: competitive stamina, he's ready to be a player that can 194 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,160 Speaker 3: play all four quarters. They continue to get better over 195 00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 3: the course of a long season. To me, is just 196 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 3: trying to find the number that fits. 197 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, And we don't need today to get into the 198 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 1: history of first round draft picks for this organization that 199 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 1: do not return after their rookie deal. There is a 200 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 1: long term issue for the organization. But Josh Allen, if 201 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,400 Speaker 1: he can get something done, would put that to a 202 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,560 Speaker 1: stop and moving forward. And as from an organizational perspective, 203 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: you've got to have those cornerstone guys. They haven't been 204 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: able to get him to a second deal. 205 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 4: A lot well, and you've got a chance signed Josh. 206 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 4: They're not gonna sign anybody from the twenty twenty draft, 207 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 4: but sign Josh. Get Trevor done. Trayvon to me looks 208 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 4: like a guy who in some capacity has a very 209 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 4: real chance to be a long term guy. Anton Harrison 210 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,719 Speaker 4: has a chance to be a long term guy. You know, 211 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 4: you never know with a Trayvon. You know that's two 212 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 4: or three years out. Who knows how numbers shake out 213 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 4: all that stuff. 214 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 1: A good step in the right direction. 215 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 4: Right, and but you have a chance to retain and 216 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 4: have retainable guys. Travis etn another first round picking that 217 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 4: has worked out. You know, you have a chance to 218 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 4: turn that perception that JP is talking about around and 219 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 4: Josh Allen would be the first guy potentially in a 220 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:55,959 Speaker 4: really long run. Do all those guys resign? 221 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. 222 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 4: Can a good percentage of them resign? It certainly looks 223 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 4: like that's the case, which is a good step forward. 224 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, it will be a good step forward if you 225 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 3: bring some of those guys back. It's just really important 226 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 3: the messages to send to the locker room. If you're 227 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 3: you're a team that talks about family and you value 228 00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: homegrown guys, well, you have to show with the team 229 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 3: that you really value that. 230 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 2: It's one thing to say that, that's another thing to 231 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 2: do it. 232 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 3: And when you take a player, you draft a player, 233 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: that player plays well for you, he should get played 234 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 3: because you want to. You want to keep those guys 235 00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 3: in the fold as your nucleus formed the foundation of 236 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 3: a championship program. If you don't do it, it just sends 237 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 3: a bad message to the locker room. 238 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: I think this is one that has to get done. 239 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 2: I hopefully it gets done something. 240 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:42,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, final thought, JP, I think Jazz has a chance 241 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,040 Speaker 4: to be on the wall someday, you know, and that's 242 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 4: still got some going to do. I mean, but two 243 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 4: time pro bowler now it will be the all time 244 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 4: sack leader if he continues at this sort of pace, 245 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 4: if he plays his career, it's easy to see that 246 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 4: he has he has a chance to be an all timer. 247 00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 4: And uh he has a chance to be an all 248 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:09,320 Speaker 4: timer community guy, an all timer in a lot of ways. 249 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: Uh so, Yeah, now, much more to be said. 250 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 1: Live like a VIP with a Daily's Place Blue membership, 251 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: you can see Dave Matthews Band, The Doobie Brothers, Parker McCollum, 252 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 1: New Kids on the Block, and so many more as 253 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,280 Speaker 1: you enjoy guaranteed seats in the best locations, premium parking, 254 00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 1: a VIP entrance and club access.

And it's a week ago, 314 00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: so it could be any moment. Who knows. Off season program, 315 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: of course, begins mid April. At some point you're gonna 316 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: start cutting players if you're gonna trim some of this 317 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 1: salary cap down and have room for some of these signings. 318 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: Free agency begins in mid March, March thirteenth, Bucky, So. 319 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: We got time. We got time. 320 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 3: Can we talk about because I don't think we had 321 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 3: a chance to talk about Nielson hadn't spoken by the 322 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 3: time we were on the last pod, Right, do we 323 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 3: talk about him? 324 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 2: I'm gonna say this. 325 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 3: I was really impressed with what he laid out in 326 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 3: his vision for how he thinks the team will play 327 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 3: on that side of the ball. 328 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 2: I like the fact that he was trying. 329 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 3: To take a more colaborative approach with he and all 330 00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 3: the defensive coaches. 331 00:15:58,560 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 2: I like how he just. 332 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,400 Speaker 3: Talked about playing fast, being able to get after it. 333 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: But to me, it sounded like kind of a control 334 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 3: chaos approach. We talked about not allowing the ball to 335 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 3: fly over the top of the defense, but guys have 336 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: to be able to tackle. You got to be able 337 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 3: to do it, and so it sounds without seeing it 338 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 3: but the picture that he kind of painted is one 339 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:23,680 Speaker 3: where the corners on the outside are going to be 340 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: locked up, press man the man to take away the 341 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 3: easy throws, but they're going to do it with sound 342 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: technique to not give up the deep throws. And then 343 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 3: he's gonna try and find a way to ratchet up 344 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,600 Speaker 3: the pressure in a variety different ways with pressure and 345 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 3: with some traditional four man rushes. So I think this 346 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 3: defense if everyone can get on board and the perimeter 347 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 3: guys can hold up the corners, meaning I think he 348 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 3: has a chance to really be a fun defense to 349 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 3: watch because I know they're gonna play fast and another 350 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 3: physical and he has a lot of juice and a 351 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 3: lot of energy. 352 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: Hopefully that will kind of carry on to the players. 353 00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,040 Speaker 4: Do you worry Bucky at all about you know, you 354 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 4: know what it was, and I know we got rid 355 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: of the last staff, so it wasn't good enough, but 356 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,720 Speaker 4: it was a really good defense at creating turnovers, and 357 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 4: when his team was good, it did that very well. 358 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 4: Do you worry about that translating from scheme to scheme? 359 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 4: I mean, I know it's a hard turnovers are hard 360 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 4: to analyze anyway, but do you worry about that translating 361 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 4: scheme to scheme or not, or is there anything to that. 362 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 3: I mean, there's definitely something to it. I will say 363 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 3: what they were trying to do in terms of the turnovers. 364 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 3: When you play zone coverage and you kind of play 365 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 3: off and you have your eyes on the quarterback, more 366 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 3: vision on the quarterback, you're more likely to get interception 367 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 3: because you see the ball come. 368 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 2: Out of the hand and you're able to react. 369 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 3: When you play more man to man, your back is 370 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,159 Speaker 3: to the defense, your back is to the quarterback, and 371 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 3: so you see the ball late, which means more pass 372 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 3: breakups than those things. But honestly, lead turnovers are an 373 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 3: attitude in a mindset. It is about always pursuing the ball, 374 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 3: always poking and prodding and yanking at the ball, and 375 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 3: just kind of being relentless when it comes to knocking 376 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,159 Speaker 3: the ball away and taking advantage of the opportunities to 377 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,359 Speaker 3: present themselves when the quarterback overthrows it or you can 378 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 3: step in front of an intended receiver. 379 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 2: I don't expect that to change. 380 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:25,399 Speaker 3: I just think stylistically this defense would change. 381 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: I would anticipate that. 382 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: The number one thing they're gonna try and do is 383 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 3: they can try and get lined up so you don't 384 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: have any egurigious areas in terms of just busting coverages 385 00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,159 Speaker 3: busting plays because you don't know how to line up. 386 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 2: Everyone knows their assignment and then they can play. 387 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 3: If it becomes a defense where it's about the player's 388 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 3: talents and not so much about this game, well then 389 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 3: you have a chance to be really good because it 390 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: means everyone's on the same page and now is our 391 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 3: guys are better than your guys. 392 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 2: Let's go get it done. 393 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 4: I mean I have asked this already, Bucky, But to me, 394 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 4: a huge key is can they figure Devin Lloyd out? 395 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,480 Speaker 4: And he was good at times last year? I thought 396 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 4: he was good early and then struggled late. Your understand 397 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 4: I mean, I feel like you basically want to take 398 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,440 Speaker 4: Trayvon Walker and Josh Allen and just say, hey, can 399 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 4: you do what you've already been doing and just not 400 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 4: mess that up? But how do you unlock to use 401 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,280 Speaker 4: that phrase that I hate, but how do you get 402 00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,120 Speaker 4: Devin Lloyd right? 403 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: Well? 404 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 3: I think this would be a research project for the 405 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 3: new coaching staff to not only look at what Devin 406 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,000 Speaker 3: Lloyd has done his first two years in Jacksonville, but 407 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 3: to go back and take a peek at what he 408 00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 3: did at Utah and see if there's a way where 409 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,000 Speaker 3: you can kind of maild some of the things that 410 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 3: he did in Utah and photos into the scheme that 411 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 3: you're going to do. Because as much as we want 412 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 3: to talk about the x'es and o's, it really comes 413 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 3: down to the jimmies and Joe's and can you put 414 00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 3: your jimmies and Joe's in a position to make plays. 415 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 3: So Devin Lloyd's expected to be one of the blue 416 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 3: chip players. The thing that you have to do is 417 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 3: ask him to do the things that he does really well. 418 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 3: Based on what I saw from him in Utah, he 419 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 3: did a really good job of being a sea ball 420 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 3: gutball player. He was really good when he was freed 421 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 3: up to rush the passer, whether from depth or off 422 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 3: the edges. I would anticipate him playing more forward than 423 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:19,560 Speaker 3: going back, and then figure out a way to build 424 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 3: the rest of the stuff around what he does, what 425 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,160 Speaker 3: Josh Allen does, and what tradebon Walker does. 426 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: So huddle up podcasts that's Bucky Brooks, Shuanozer, and JP 427 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: Shadwick And next week the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, 428 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 1: will be on the ground Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday at Radio 429 00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: Row at the Indiana Convention Center, and the testing begins 430 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: I think late in the week. You, Bucky, you'll be 431 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: there at some point whenever you're private there, whenever your 432 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: private jet arrive. Yeah, I mean, he is the king 433 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: of the combine. 434 00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 2: I'm looking forward to it. 435 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to continue to sit on my throne. 436 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, of course. Doug Peterson and Trent Balke last we've 437 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: heard our schedule to speak to the media at the 438 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: podium Tuesday. The times probably mid daysh noon, twelve thirty 439 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 1: somewhere in that window. That's still a little bit subject 440 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,280 Speaker 1: to change. But whenever they speak, of course, we'll have 441 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,080 Speaker 1: it for you live. We'll have all the recaps and 442 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: things on Jaguars dot Com. Special guests already being booked 443 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:25,439 Speaker 1: for Radio Row Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, including a lot of 444 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. We're gonna have jags am on Wednesday, We're 445 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: gonna have a have You radio on Thursday up there 446 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 1: in Indy, and all kinds of stuff going on. So, Hey, Bucky, 447 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 1: I know you're gonna be around for the testing and 448 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 1: stuff later. We're gonna leave before a lot of that 449 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: happens and not get to see which of it. A 450 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: question for the scout and analyst, what position, what position 451 00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 1: group are you most excited to see test later in 452 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: the week in. 453 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 2: Indy, Okay. 454 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 3: So from a personal standpoint, were we take off our 455 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 3: Jaguars hat, I would say the most exciting position to 456 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 3: see tests, I want to see the wide receivers. It's 457 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 3: one of the deepest Wars classes that we've seen, not 458 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,120 Speaker 3: necessarily just at the top, but throughout the first three rounds. 459 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:07,199 Speaker 3: You can find plenty of playmakers, plenty of guys that 460 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 3: can make things happen, whether it's traditional, polished route runners, 461 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 3: whether as catching run specialists. There are a lot of 462 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 3: guys in this class that can get it done. The 463 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 3: second most intriguing position for me would be either cornerback 464 00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,640 Speaker 3: or the offensive tackle class. Both classes and those respects 465 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 3: and positions are deep. 466 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: There are starters to be had, whether in the first 467 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 2: round or second round. 468 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 3: The dbs are really intriguing because if we think about 469 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,880 Speaker 3: from a Jaguar standpoint, what could happen, what you may 470 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 3: need look. I think Tyson Cambell and Darius Williams are 471 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 3: entering the last years of their respective deals. So does 472 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 3: that mean that you need to start thinking about not 473 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 3: only fortifying the depth, but maybe finding potential replacements, Because 474 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 3: if Trevor Lawrence gets paid, it changes the way that 475 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: you have to allocate the resources elsewhere, and that means 476 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 3: you might have to have more draft and develop guys 477 00:22:57,880 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 3: on the defense side of the ball. So I want 478 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 3: to see what the corner position looks like. And then 479 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,679 Speaker 3: offensive line with the offensive tackles really good group. I 480 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 3: mean a ton of first rounders that are available, but also 481 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,480 Speaker 3: the interior. I have some guys that are really really interesting, 482 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 3: and I know there's been some conversation about the Jaguars 483 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,919 Speaker 3: upgrading the inside part of that offensive line. There are 484 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 3: plenty of guys that can play, plenty of guys that 485 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 3: are plugging play options. 486 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,679 Speaker 2: So maybe, just maybe I'll take a long look at 487 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 2: those guys. 488 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 4: See I maintain JP and BUCkies argued off air with 489 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,840 Speaker 4: me by this a little bit before. I don't think 490 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,160 Speaker 4: you'll ever see a class again that doesn't have great 491 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 4: wide receivers. I think the game, oh no, I think 492 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 4: the game has changed high school passing camps, college, whatever. 493 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 4: So I wonder how you even differentiated anymore. I mean, 494 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 4: it just seems like it's always going to be a 495 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 4: deep draft. You always have athletic guys from Florida, Texas, 496 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,320 Speaker 4: California who can run, and now that they're playing the 497 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 4: sport earlier, they're all going to be more developed. 498 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 2: There are going to be more development. 499 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 3: I think John is so interesting because when you look 500 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,520 Speaker 3: at the our receiver position, you do not have to 501 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: take all wide receiver in the first round to get 502 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,679 Speaker 3: a guy that can be a number one type playmaker. 503 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 3: I think the Kuka Nakua and what he was able 504 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 3: to do for the La Rams. He's the fifth round pick, 505 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,280 Speaker 3: made plays. We saw it early in the year. Week two, 506 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 3: we played the Houston Texans Tankdale Goes Bananas. He was 507 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 3: a third round pick and really, prior to his injury 508 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 3: for the Texans, he and Nico Collins were kind of 509 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 3: sharing the marquee as their top playmakers. 510 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 2: There are plenty of guys that can do that. 511 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 3: You just have to know exactly what you want and 512 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 3: you have to know how you want to utilize them 513 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: when you bring them in the building. 514 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,440 Speaker 1: But if Marvin Harrison's searing you in the face and 515 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: you have the pick. It's hard not to take the big, long, tall, fast, 516 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: strong son of a hall of. 517 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 2: Fame, is no, it is hard. 518 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: Now the conversation is gonna be really interesting with Marvin 519 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 3: Harrison Junior, Rome Adunza, and Malik Neighbors. All of those 520 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 3: guys are well regarded, highly thought of in the scouting community, 521 00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 3: and there's some don't necessarily have Marvin Harrison Junior as 522 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 3: the unanimous choice as the number one wide receiver. 523 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 2: How will these guys work out? 524 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,960 Speaker 3: But they look like how they interview and tests will 525 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 3: go a long way determining if Marvin Harrison Junior is 526 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 3: gonna be the pick when it comes down to take 527 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 3: the first wide receiver off the ward. 528 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,440 Speaker 4: Would be ironic because if the Jaguars had a chance 529 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 4: to draft Marvin Harrison Jr. And he didn't talk to 530 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 4: me for ten years. 531 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 2: Two, I mean, wow, you know I would. 532 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 3: I would probably say that if you somehow found his 533 00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 3: way to Jacksonville, I'm sure Senior will probably say, Hey, guys, look, 534 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 3: I want you to be very friendly with all the personnel. 535 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,359 Speaker 2: Put that guy over there, that old shit got we 536 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 2: gonna steer clear of him. Your word, it's funny. 537 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 4: I got along great with Marvin. He he was all 538 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 4: I always enjoyed being around Marvin. He just did not 539 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 4: talk to anybody, man. I mean, he did not do 540 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 4: the media, and I think I did. I think I 541 00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 4: covered him ten years and I think I'd talked to 542 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 4: him for the record like three times four. I mean, 543 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 4: just maybe underestimating that. But wasn't this thing so But 544 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 4: my impression is Marvin Harrison Junior is much more comfortable 545 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 4: with me. And Marvin just didn't like doing it. I mean, 546 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:20,119 Speaker 4: it wasn't necessarily that he had beefs with the media, 547 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 4: et cetera, et cetera. He just wasn't comfortable with it 548 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 4: and didn't like doing it and wasn't and took the 549 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 4: strategy of purposely being really bad at it when he talked, 550 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 4: so nobody really wanted to talk to him anyways. He 551 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,480 Speaker 4: wouldn't say anything. So but it deserved Hall of Famer 552 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 4: and his kid's great. 553 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: But I know Bucky probably had a parallelis of Tom 554 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: Cleats right when you played. 555 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: Uh No, it doesn't look too flashy for me, you 556 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 3: know what I'm saying, Like this looks too looks too 557 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 3: flash for me. I like a little more understated style. 558 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 3: But I can get it, you know. I mean I 559 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,879 Speaker 3: can get behind Margaret Harrison Junior doing it. Because sometimes, man, 560 00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,119 Speaker 3: when you got a flamboyant game, you wanted to make 561 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 3: sure that the close matchup won't be appropriate. 562 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 1: Well yeah, I guess so. 563 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, when you play out wide, Look, it's about commanding intention. 564 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:12,560 Speaker 3: You're so far from the ball, you don't touch the 565 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 3: ball all the time. You want to be noticed. You 566 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 3: want to be noticed for something, and that's one way 567 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,720 Speaker 3: to do it. The footwear, the Louis Vautons on the cleats, 568 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 3: that was a very impressive look. 569 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 2: I think he also had to watch too. I think 570 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 2: he was one of those guys that. 571 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: He was wearing a watch during the game, one of 572 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: the games Apple Watch. 573 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 3: I mean, you got into a time. It's got to 574 00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 3: be able to get on and off the field. We 575 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 3: got things to do after the game. 576 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:34,639 Speaker 2: JP. 577 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: You know the Louis Vutan cleats. The Michigan defense noticed it. 578 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah they did. They talked about it. They 579 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,919 Speaker 3: talked about, you can't be tough. We've got that Louis. 580 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 2: The Louis Vauton stuff walking around. 581 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:48,400 Speaker 1: Punched him in the face. 582 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 4: I wonder if he's the UH for the son of 583 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 4: a Hall of famer? Will he be the highest drafted. 584 00:27:59,160 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: Player? 585 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 1: Long? 586 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 2: Maybe? 587 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 1: How he's kid? 588 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 2: He wait, wait no, that's right. Yeah, yeah, is Archie 589 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 2: Man in the Hall of Fame? 590 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 4: But Long, okay, Long is probably it's just. 591 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 2: Because Chris Long, because Chris Long was too overall. 592 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, but I think I think it's remarkable. That's got 593 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 4: to be hard. I mean a lot of pressure coming up, 594 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 4: and you can say you're blessed with jeans, but you 595 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 4: still got to work to get there, and so it's 596 00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,239 Speaker 4: a remarkable thing to be able to do. 597 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:32,320 Speaker 1: So anyway, Yeah, all right, So next week, Combine, Indy 598 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: Bucky will see you every single day and then you 599 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: can't wait, get ready. 600 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 3: I can't wait, man, I'm looking forward to it.
